Climbing tenderly over her face;
They gather in beautiful clusters,
Tinting softly each dimple and space.
Her love weaves coloring of roses.
So changeful the tinting steals DER,
That I'm lost in deep alteration

Softly flashes amid her sweet smiles;

While green corn goes waving and flashing.

Mid the roses that bloom at the door.
The sunset Of evening comes glowing
With changes Of coloring and shade;
And filing all space with its beauty,
Over stream, over meadow and glade.
The beauty OF heaven in richness,
Its rare tints Of coloriDg outpour,

ii the picture which met his gaze, for
Mss Priscilla had been the pink Of
neatness during the few weeks he had

horror Of slovenly woman.
Priscilla, on her part, was awkward
and embarrassed, and was glad when the
interview was over.

had departed. .'And now that your

set away the tea things, and the bright

freight flashed over the cosey room, and
Cecil watched Viney's fair face, with
look of lover-like admiration in his hand
some eyes.
ssHere's something for you, Whey, :
said Tom Farron, handing his sister q
large embossed envelope, plainly adj
dressed to miss Elvina Farron."
Whey opened it carefully, and out
dropped gold ring, which was attached
by thread to the han dsomely decorated
valentine inciosed in the envelope.
Within q beautifully designed wreath
of orange blossoms was the couplet:

more cheerful than was her won't. "And,

some one Of US to come but we are all

And with little deepening Of the
pink in her cheeks, Whey gave tho re-
quired assent, and tripped away with
her bowl Of coffee, while the three
cousins burst into hearty. laugh at the
success Of their plan.

Penelope, maliciously. 'sWon't she be

the old lady, placing chair for the Wis
itor close to the sparkling hardwood fire
that was glowing on the broad hearth.
Il didn't expect to stay SO long" said
Whey, the dimplcs dancing in her bright
cheeks; ''but can, if you want me. !"
And she thought of the pleasant time
she would have, chatting with Cecil at
supper, and aftcrward, with the freight
flashing brightly on the hearth, and
lighting up the pleasant, cosey sitting
Dom, with its bright rag carpet, its
spider-legged chairs and claw-footed

Mrs. Fairfax, stirring up the fire with

Viney's heart, which had been as light
as tuft of thistlc-down, sank like
BIT Of lead in her bosom at tbs an

He's been a-wanting to go to the

taking out her knitting and settling her
self for a pleasant chat. Il s'pose he'll

there. I wish he hadn't took such a

dentially, as she looked sharply through
her glasses at Viney's blushlng cheeks.
"But, there, we needn't bother about
that now. I'm real glad you'll stay with
me, Whey; and I'll have lemon cakes
